Abstract of the Disclosure

A light emitting silicon carbide semiconductor junction device containing
a transition metal (such as Ti, Zr, or Mn) which increases the total light
output or effects a shift in the peak of the electroluminescence spectrum.

Figure descriptions: cover graphic

Figure 1 is a semi-schematic perspective view of a typical device embodying
the invention.

Figure 2 is a graph which compares the electroluminescence of silicon
carbide diodes doped with Ti or Zr and silicon carbide diodes made according
to the same method but not doped with Ti or Zr.
